We make a ridge roll from 12" stock, 20 ounce (http://josephjenkins.com/store/product.php?productid=16397&cat=341&page=1). We have made custom ridge from 16" stock as well.   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 147 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 07:27 pm:        That is fairly safe to do. good luck with that.   Pagoglia (Pagoglia) New member Username: Pagoglia Post Number: 2 Registered: 05-2009 Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 11:05 am:        Well, actually I am building storage sheds, 10 x 12 and 8 x 12, with a 10-12 pitch roof and am offering slate as an optional roof. I am planning to use a saddle ridge, but wanted the information on copper in case a customer requests it. Can't wait for someone to order one so I can gain first hand experience with slate!   Kwhord (Kwhord) Senior Member Username: Kwhord Post Number: 226 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 10:55 pm:        I rip 36" sheets into 12" strips to make rolled ridge. It provides about 4.5" of coverage on each side.   Tinner666 (Tinner666) Intermediate Member Username: Tinner666 Post Number: 38 Registered: 02-2009 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 04:48 pm:        Why not just slate the ridges? I've only used copper on one, by request, spec'd by others, as a sub. I believe it was 8" x 8".

In searching for rolls of copper, I have come acrosss many 16 inch widths. Do slate roofers use the entire 16 inch width when fabricating ridge copper, or is some other dimension used, like half of 16, or is 8 inches too narrow (4 inches on each side of a ridge). I guess I am asking, what is an appropriate width dimension for copper ridge.
